RIGHTS: Fine line of racism
A smile crossed my face while digesting the article quoting history professor Ken Faunce from the University of Idaho addressing the almost 30 attendees at a recent gathering of the Human Rights folks at NIC. He couldn’t help himself bringing up racism when mentioning our President Obama, as if one must be a racist if one believes that our president is an incompetent individual with social engineering and redistribution of wealth as his main goals.
Faunce mentions that there are some 250,000 slaves in our country, and that 15,000 to 17,000 new slaves are brought into the U.S. every year according to the United Nations as well as the U.S. Department of Justice. WOW! Could this be possibly due to our president’s open door policy and his instructions to not pursue illegal border jumpers? Oh, I’m sorry; I could possibly go to jail or be audited for such remarks.
Ken falls back on stats from the United Nations, an organization that is fairly worthless unless you are a member from a third-world country that is here to have a good time, chase women and escape parking tickets. As to the U.N., it is high time for another country to take this organization under its wing thereby giving our nation a much needed break. Sudan might be a good choice. As we all know, America picks up way too much of that tab. If I had my way I would let the United Nations have 90 days to select a country that would take over this loser and announce that the building would be renovated and turned into condos, with the general assembly turned into a first-class gym for the condo owners.
As to Mr. Faunce. Pull up the U of I on your computer and you will find Faunce listed as a temp faculty lecturer which to me means just another campus dweller with little real world experience beyond going from class to class, thereby becoming all knowledgeable.
As to the human rights group. Above all they must stay relevant, as donations are their life’s blood, although at one time they did some good work. I seem to recall one of their former members who is believed to have started a small fire on her front porch, put it out herself, and then screamed racism. Often wondered if she ever took a polygraph?
In conclusion, one could speculate that one third of those in attendance were his students looking for an elevated grade, one third members of the human rights group and the rest, probably people looking to get in out of a darn cold spell. But I could be wrong.
